Strange Brew

These are two of my guy friends clowning around at a brewery tour. They both love being funny and they both love beer. I used the All Mixed Up Cricut cartridge for the title on this page. The patterned sheet came from a discontinued Creative Memories paper pack called Asian Miyabi...I liked the way it worked with the rest of the layout.

Shanty Town page

This is a layout I worked on over the weekend. I used the Cricut Printing Press cartridge for the title and other lettering. For this Jaycee project we camped out overnight in a mock shanty town to collect donations of food and clothing for the local area. We built our "headquarters" from wooden pallets that were lined with cardboard. This was done the weekend of Thanksgiving and it was actually pretty chilly out, despite the lack of snow...probably in the 30's.

Laff Olympics

This is a two-page spread I did for an event back in 2000. Teams did various relays and races. It was a cool September morning, but it was a fun time!

The title was made using Cricut's All Mixed Up cartridge

Weekend Accomplishments

Here are a few pages I finished over the weekend. This is another big book project I have started to highlight my 13+ years as a Jaycee. The organization has been a great influence in my life and I strongly encourage any men & women ages 18-40 to join their local chapter. If you don't have a chapter one can be started in your area with enough interest. The people in this organization are like my second family, and the skills I have learned have made me a better person.

For the first layout, "#1 Chapter, I used my Cricut and the Mini Monograms cartridge for the scalloped layers, Street Signs for #1 and the sub-title "in Minnesota", and I used Stone Script for the word "Chapter" and "2006".

The second layout used Going Places cartridge for the arrow and couple, and Alphalicious for the title. I like the way both of these turned out.

Minnesota Jaycees 2005 Scrapbook

I was asked to make a scrapbook for the 2005 State President to highlight his year in office. I spend many hours working on this throughout the year as events took place and photos were sent to me to include. Some of the photos are not the greatest since I wasn't planning to post them when I took the pictures three years ago, but at least you can see the layouts.
